In comments made Friday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the National Rifle Association (NRA) is a "fringe group" that is "very extreme."

Moreover, according to Schumer, the NRA doesn't "represent average gun [owners]."

Schumer says that during the 1990s the NRA used their lobbying power to fill background checks with loopholes, thus leading to a situation where "40 percent of all guns sold in American have no [background] check."

You'll recall that Obama also used this "40 percent" claim when pushing for more gun control earlier in the week. This claim goes back to a 2011 study by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, where secondary, private guns were lumped in with new guns sales in an attempt to justify saying guns were entering the marketplace with no background checks whatsoever.

Has he looked at www.ruger.com? Ruger set up in their website the means for gunowners to enter their address info and zip code that automatically send a pro 2A and no more new regulation email to every official (local, state, Congress and POTUS). It has been up little over 2 weeks. If you have not done it, recommend you do it ASAP. Please do not repeat, let the numbers shown be as accurate and honest as possible. NY do not give up, enter it also letting your Dem reps in rural areas know they kicked up a hornets nest. I think it has about 620,000 emails and climbing as I type. Right now politicians are in the voter sentiment counting mode. More emails, more they hesitate, because many Dems remember the last AWB and what it cost them. Here is another demographic hope, about 60 percent of young people say if they settle down, they plan to buy a firearm. Despite public school education, that scares the libs even more. NRA has the same survey, start marketing to young people and more women.

Just as the TEA PARTY is a “fringe group” and “extreme” and the OCCUPY CROWD is a “mainstream movement of patriotic Americans”. - What little I saw of Obama’s Immaculation today, it looked like he was making a little effort not to stick his nose in the air and strike a “Stalin” pose.

They do this to splinter our side...and with the help of their propaganda media they turn the peasant class against us. It works, so why think they will not say ever increasingly outrageous lies about us? Evil is pushing them and it will not be all that long till blood will be their sport.

OK, let's compare. How many gun owners are there in America, and what percentage of them are members of the NRA? Now, how many women are there in this country, and what percentage are members of the National Organization for Women?

OK, Senator UpChuck, based on the numbers, which group would you consider more representative of the members of its target group? I guess this means you'll have to ignore the NOW gang, since MOST women in this country have nothing to do with them.

The only true thing there is that many gun owners are not members of the NRA. I don’t think the black drug dealers and other criminals in the big cities join the NRA. But are they the kind of residents of the US he wants to be part of?

Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to go to Ruger.com and sign that form letter. Got 'er dun now. Thanks.

(To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.)

Sen Schumer represents 2/3 of the Jewish voter in the US. They support policies that will destroy their homeland, they will support Dems who have a leftwing and growing Arab wing that will vote policies that will destroy their homeland. The only thing they are good at is support bigger gov and higher taxes. In the private economy many work in Wall Street, and did a good job selling liar loans as AAA investments to the world and pension funds. Before freepers scream, think, blacks are 14 percent of US population, yet represent 40 percent of the crimes. Time to question their culture and values. Jews are 3 percent of US population, represent half of the leadership and key officers in Wall Street banks, and ALL of them under their guidance caused the S&L crisis in the 1980’s and repeat the same schemes in 2000’s. Wonder about their ethnic cultural values. At least the blacks can cover with lack of education and poverty, how will the Jews explain their elites behavior who went to Havard, Yale and etc and come from well to do families. At least Bill Cosby is raising it amongst blacks, who in the Jewish community is raising these failures in the Jewish community??
